So, if you didn't see the stream, FMH 8 has a workaround to the problem last year where teams claimed a player on waivers and immediately sent him down to the minors. They don't have the resources to code the NHL rule where the player has to be offered back to the original team before being sent down.

So the work around is to give the player a NMC for the rest of the year.

I don't like this for the simple reason that guys end up on waivers because they are over paid or just not good enough to make the NHL team. So when I grab a player on waivers it is a risky move. Some times it works out and other times it doesn't so I move the player along. Now we can't do that. I don't want to take a chance on a guy, have him not work out, and then be stuck with him for the rest of the year.

Personally I'd like a toggle to turn it off. The old way was broken but the workaround is worse to me. What are your thoughts?
